‘Never leave’ – Some Man City fans laud £30m ‘legend’ after Twitter post from 2-1 PL win

Fernandinho came off the bench to put the result beyond doubt as Manchester City beat West Ham 2-1 to go second in the Premier League.

Ilkay Gundogan put the hosts ahead in the first-half, before half-time had to be extended due to heavy snowfall at the Etihad.

The match remained in the balance until Fernandinho doubled the lead late on, but there was still time for Manuel Lanzini to net a stunning consolation strike with the last kick of the game.

It was too little, too late for the away side though as City were the side who moved closer to the top of the table.

And it was a Twitter post from the Brazilian midfielder which had City supporters talking post-match. With Fernandinho taking to his official account to give his thoughts on the game and on his goal.

Here’s what some City fans had to say about Fernandinho’s Twitter post after their 2-1 win against West Ham…
